Model versions

Each Abstractus tool has a numbered model version. When the screening process changes, the version number is updated. Every screening run records the version used so you can identify how its results were produced.

Recall is the percentage of relevant papers included by the screening. Workload reduction is the percentage of all papers excluded. Each screening or extraction job has a 50-credit minimum.

Abstract screening

Version 2 · Current · Since September 2026 · v2.0.0 in the Run log

Evaluates each abstract against the inclusion and exclusion criteria individually, then uses those assessments to make the final screening decision.

  • Organizes your criteria into rules by theme and evaluates each rule separately.
  • Provides a short reason for each decision by default. You can request detailed reasons for all papers or only included papers.
  • Each excluded paper is grouped under its most relevant exclusion criterion, shown in the Breakdown tab and in downloads.
